physicians, hut none seemed TO reach my case,
until commenced the use Of Dr. Pardee's
Rheumatic Remedy, and before had used it
four days the pain left my neck and shoulders
and went to my hips and limbs l continued
taking the remedy, and the disease seemed to
work downward. but there was but little pain.

Omaha hotel, to a reporter after the theater.

At this time there were not many guests OF
| the hotel in the office, and those who still sat
and chatted began to look sleepy, and one
by one drifted away to bed till only the
reporter remained besides the clerks and
porters. Just then u bus pulled up at the
door and a fiorid travelling man rushed up to
the counter, grabbed a pen and registered.
Then he leaned toward Mr.. Watson and con-
hdentially asked II there was any mail for
him and seemed surprised that there was
not, then he asked for kilograms and express
packages, his surprise apparently increasing
as he was assured successfully in the negative.
Then he called n messenger boy and sent a
note, which it tool him some time 70 COM

A very small we'll dressed man came up 10
the counter, and in Il voice that lett no doubt
ss to his being about three-quarters shot
asked for the key 10 No. which was hand
ell 10 him, he went up on the elevator, but
returned very soon, saying that il was the
wrong key, and that he had gotten into
some other mans room He asked for his
washing, but it had not COM in from the
laundry, and, storming and swearing. he left
the house. Later a policeman walked him
into the office, and it took three porters "

sound asleep. He was not disturbed until IL
was apparent that he meant b stay there,
when a porter woke him up. After inquiring

into the street.
That's a common type Of beat said Mr..
Watson; there isn't a night that we don't

In February, 1862, this fond father was
visited by Il sOrrowful Bereavement. The
executive mansion was turned into a
house Of mourning Death had chosen a
shining mark and the beloved Willie, the
apple Of his father eye. the brightest
AID most promising Of his children, was
torn from his embrace. The dreadful
stroke well nigh broke the president ;
heart, and certainly an aifiiction more
crushing never fell 10 the lot of man. In
the lonely grave Of the little one lay
buried Mr. L~incoln's fondest hopes and,
strong as be was in the matter OF self
control, he gave way 20 an Oyermastering
grief, which became at length a serious
menace 10 himself.
Never Vas there witnessed in an Amer
lean household a scene Of distress more
touching than that ia which the president
and Mrs. Lincoln mingled their tears
over the coffin that inclosed the ~lifeless
form Of their beloved child. 4 deep and
settled dependency took possession of
Mr.. Lincoln, and when it IS remembered
that this calamity-fOr such it surely was
-befel him at a critical period Of the war,
just when the resources OF his mighty in
tellect were most in demand, it will be
understood how his affection became a
matter Of the grayest concern TO the whole
country, and especially 10 those who stood
in close personal and official relations with
him. The measures taken by his friends
to break the force Of his great grief, and
to restore him to something like his old

THE use Of foreign pickles and sauces in

then asked:

Not exactly; but the American pickles
are fully equal to them, ana, what is Of more
Importance 10 consumers, they are much
cheaper. You will remember that al one
time no pickle was thought worth eating uu-
less it bore the stamp Of a certain firm in
London. The same may be said Of sauces.
But this is all changed. No one thinks II
asking for the London concerns pickles now
in any ordinary grocery store, and if any one
should it would be almost impossible 10 get
them. The American bottled pickles are
from 80 to 80 per cent. cheaper 10 the jobbimg
trade, and therefore can be sold at "a lower
price 10 the consumer"
"What about the saucesf'
"The old English sauces are no longer on
the price lists Of large grocery stores. as q
better kind can be supplied at from 40 t. -

Mr.. Perry Belmont writes a good ar
ticle on the consular service.
The United States hardly needs a resi-
dent minister in European countries, but
the consular service needs more dignity
than il has.
Mir. Belmont mentions the fact that four
appointments have been made to n con-
sular position in Central America since
President Cleveland came into office, be-
cause the salary is insufficient to maintain
the Consul, and recently q subscription
had to be raised in a leading South Ameri-
can city to enable the American Consul
and his family to get home. Such incl
dents are very discreditable to our Gov.
eminent, especially at time when there
are professions of a great desire to pro-
mote commercial relations with the
countries of Central and South America.
1t Is also humiliating to representatives of
our Government in foreign lands to find
themselves placed upon so much lower
footing officially than those of other gov
ernments with whom they are brought in
contact.

The Soldiers OF Austria.

The Austrian army is large and impos-
ing, but its material does not compare
fayorably with that OF the English and
German armies, physically or intellectu
ally, except in some fayorite or select bat
talions. The soldiers OF Austria proper
are superior in appearance, more elegant
and clearly in dress, and more soldierly
in hearing than those from Bohemia, Hun
gar and other parts Of the Austrian EN-
pire, but there is a seryile manner about
most Of them which must be the result OF
the despotic character Of the government,
rather than good military discipline.
Some soldiers from the Austrian prov
inces are so poorly and cheaply uniformed,
so untidy in person and 50 very slouchy
